Fine unfortunate. Not talking about just game attendance.
For Canadian kids and their families a connection to a local NHL team is huge. I was a kid before the Flames relocated from Atlanta. All of a sudden we would watch Flames games on tv with our parents, schedule things around playoff games etc etc.
Watch the video this week of the kid who trades in his homemade Monahan jersey for the real thing. Watch vids of the Flames at Halloween at the Children’s hospital or playing floor hockey with under privileged kids.
Sorry but I could care less about the Hitmen.
